Referral/partner programs

Partner programs, also known as affiliate or referral programs, allow you to set up referral relationships so that others can sell your products and earn commissions. With Ontraport, you can create a partner center and provide your partners with advertising tools such as trackable links and banner ads to help them promote your business. You can also automate referral tracking and commission payments to seamlessly manage the entire program.

Explore our Ontraport University lessons on partners here.

Create a partner program
  • Create a partner program
    Partner programs allow you to set up referral relationships so that others can sell and refer your product and earn commissions. Here’s how to create one.
  • Set your partner global settings
    Before you can create your first partner program, you’ll need to set the partner global settings which will apply to any partner programs you create.
  • Add partner promotional tools
    Promotional tools are the assets you’ll provide to your partners to promote and sell your products and services for you.
  • Test your partner program
    Before you begin promoting your partner program, test your sign-up process and affiliate links to make sure your referred customers can opt in or purchase.
  • Create a partner center
    A partner center is a user-friendly place where those who have signed up to be your partner can go to access information about being part of your partner program.
Create partner automations
Track and pay partners
  • Track partners
    The Ontraport partner program uses cookies to track your referred customers and identify the partner who referred them.
  • Pay partners
    Here’s how to manage your partner commissions and pay your partners once you have your partner program set up and your partners are making sales.
  • First and last referrer partner payments
    If prospects click on multiple promotional tools from various partners, you have the power to determine which partner gets paid for that purchase through the first and last referrer settings.
